As a university prfessr, I have been buried in thery fr s lng that it recently struck me: I dn’t knw hw t d anything. By “d” I mean smething cncrete, smething dne with my hands that prduces an actual prduct.
The trades cme t mind. Whenever I call an electrician, r a masn, r a carpenter, I lk n in wnder as they smthly emply their skills. Fr example, I recently had a new kitchen sink fixed by a yung man. He hummed (哼曲子) as he wrked at the pipes, with every cnfidence in his abilities. When he was dne, he turned n the water and it flwed frth withut any leak. Is this nt a minr wnder?
All f this brught me t a decisin: I signed up fr an adult evening curse at a lcal technical schl. The title: Basic Electricity and Wiring. When we began, I felt immediately at a lss. In an instant I was a student again in all respects: The anxiety, the self-dubt, the wndering if I had made a mistake. S I wrked my way thrugh my basic wiring curse. My initial impulse (冲动) t jump ship gradually disappeared, because I came t realize that I was, indeed, acquiring a useful new skill.
Later, each student wuld be ffered a switch and a lighting fixture (固定装置). The task was t fix them in a dr frame and wire them, but nt turn n the switch until the instructr was present. There I was, a prfessr, standing like a fresh-faced schlby befre my setup. When I was dne, I raised my hand. The instructr, a master electrician, came ver t lk ver my jb and glanced at me. “Hit the switch,” he said.
It’s hard t describe that mment. But I did feel that smething bigger than myself was at risk — I’m sure that learning is nt smething that is cmpleted early in life, frm which pint we simply mve n, cnstantly recycling what we already knw. The hrizn is brader than that, and the brader the hrizn, the mre pprtunities there are t learn smething new.
4. Why did the authr attend an adult evening curse?
A. He was frequently trubled by the repair wrk.
B. He needed t strengthen his theretical knwledge.
C. He was very eager t imprve his hands-n abilities.
D. He wanted t learn the secrets f wrking wnders.
5. What des the underlined phrase “jump ship” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Wrk hard.B. Drp ut.C. Calm dwn.D. Give in.
6. When the authr hit the switch, he felt ________.
A. nervus and uncertainB. frightened and excited
C. cnfident and relaxedD. annyed and depressed
7. What des the stry intend t tell us?
A. All rads lead t Rme.B. It’s never t late t learn.
C. Many hands make light wrk.D. The early bird catches the wrm.
C
Crsicana Middle Schl is nw ffering a new elective (选修科目), Outdr Educatin, which cvers several areas f learning. The curse includes hunter and angler educatin, camping, survival skills and archery. The students recently gt a visit frm Captain Heath Butaud frm the Crsicana Fire Department and learned mre abut putting ut and preventing fires alng with hw t use a fire extinguisher. They then were allwed t put their knwledge t the test with a simulated (模拟的) fire n a screen and an extinguisher. These types f activities amng the thers mentined all teach prblem-slving skills t students which they can use fr life-lng learning.
The curse began as an idea that CMS Principal Jhnsn came up with after spending time utside f wrk hunting. The class currently has 60 students and is a mix f thse wh have utdr experience and thse wh dn’t. “The curse is really abut the interactin,” Vice Principal Hervey said. “It desn’t matter wh is better r wrse; everyne is at the same level, ding the same tasks.”
While the class des d several exciting activities and field trips, the meaning behind the curse runs much deeper. “The idea is t get the kids utdrs,” Owen said. “The byprduct (副产品) f that has turned int wrking tgether, building new relatinships and the feeling f fulfillment the curse brings.” The learning and cmpletin f new tasks such as cking chicken and vegetables n an pen flame, using a cmpass and mre have allwed fr the students t have mre discipline, self-esteem and perfrm better verall academically.
As the prgram begins t grw, the ideas behind the basis f the curse have stayed the same. “We want t have the ideal that there are n racial, physical, gender r sciecnmic bundaries,” Hervey said. “Students can therefre enjy an equal pprtunity t participate and becme engaged in extracurricular activities.”
8. What’s the purpse f ffering the students a new elective?
A. T acquire prblem-slving skills.B. T train them t be future firemen.
C. T apply knwledge t their exams.D. T btain mre methds f learning.
9. Which f the fllwing is an additinal benefit f the new elective?
A. Adapting quickly t technlgy.B. Experiencing exciting activities.
C. Imprving cperative abilities.D. Surviving sme sudden illnesses.
10. What can yu infer frm the last paragraph?
A. The prgram prves ideal.B. Scial inequality still exists.
C. Self-discipline means success.D. The prgram needs prmting.
11 Where is this text prbably taken frm?
A. An educatin magazine.B. A business analysis.
C. An ecnmic reprt.D. A science fictin.

Hw can a large city find water fr 10 millin peple if it is in the desert? Fg-catching nets n hills arund the city f Lima, the capital f Peru, culd slve the city’s water shrtages fr gd. A twenty-meter high net twer will sn be displayed in the city as a slutin t the prblem.
Peru’s capital city has just ne inch f rain a year. The city sees high annual temperatures and water cnsumptin rates. Lcated in a desert, the city’s temperatures are higher than wrld averages. Hwever, a unique feature f Lima’s weather ffers a way f meeting sme f this demand. Lcated n the cast, Lima’s surrunding hills are cnstantly bathed in waves f fg cming ff the Pacific Ocean, and the misture (湿气) taken in by plants ensures they stay green year-rund.
Inspired by fg nets placed by rural cmmunities acrss the cntinent, Albert Fernandez, a Chilean architect currently studying fr a Ph.D. frm University Cllege Lndn, has designed a series f twers and fg-catching nets. They can cllect as much as 1,000 liters f water per day, amunting t 3.6 millin liters per year, if enugh are put int use. Their twering structure allws them t get int the cluds, cllecting mre vital water vapr (蒸气), and their unique shape means that n matter the directin f the wind, the misture-rich fg will strike sme part f the structure directly.
The water will largely be used fr agriculture — as the water wuld require filtering (过滤) befre cnsumptin — helping free up resurces fr city residents. Cheaper than filtering water frm the Rimac River, these twers and nets, which Fernandez says culd be built up t 200 meters high, are part f a series f designs fr the Lima 2035 prject. It aims t change current desertificatin and create a new place fr sustainable and human-centered fd systems that prmte healthy diets and imprve incmes in the driest city n Earth.
12. What makes plants in Lima stay green year-rund?
A. The heavy rainfall.B. The high temperature.
C. The net twer.D. The unique lcatin.
13. What des Fernandez draw inspiratins frm?
A. The directin f the wind.B. The misture-rich fg.
C. The height f the twer.D. The fg-catching net.
14. What will Fernandez’s design mainly help t d?
A. Supply drinking water.B. Turn desert int rich sil.
C. Increase fd prductin.D. Develp healthy lifestyles.
15. Which f fllwing wuld be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Fg-catching twers help slve water shrtage
B. The driest city n Earth faces a serius prblem
C. Fernandez designed the first fg-catching net
D. Water plays a rle in a sustainable fd system

As a university prfessr, I have been buried in thery fr s lng that it recently struck me: I dn’t knw hw t d anything. By “d” I mean smething cncrete, smething dne with my hands that prduces an actual prduct.
The trades cme t mind. Whenever I call an electrician, r a masn, r a carpenter, I lk n in wnder as they smthly emply their skills. Fr example, I recently had a new kitchen sink fixed by a yung man. He hummed (哼曲子) as he wrked at the pipes, with every cnfidence in his abilities. When he was dne, he turned n the water and it flwed frth withut any leak. Is this nt a minr wnder?
All f this brught me t a decisin: I signed up fr an adult evening curse at a lcal technical schl. The title: Basic Electricity and Wiring. When we began, I felt immediately at a lss. In an instant I was a student again in all respects: The anxiety, the self-dubt, the wndering if I had made a mistake. S I wrked my way thrugh my basic wiring curse. My initial impulse (冲动) t jump ship gradually disappeared, because I came t realize that I was, indeed, acquiring a useful new skill.
Later, each student wuld be ffered a switch and a lighting fixture (固定装置). The task was t fix them in a dr frame and wire them, but nt turn n the switch until the instructr was present. There I was, a prfessr, standing like a fresh-faced schlby befre my setup. When I was dne, I raised my hand. The instructr, a master electrician, came ver t lk ver my jb and glanced at me. “Hit the switch,” he said.
It’s hard t describe that mment. But I did feel that smething bigger than myself was at risk — I’m sure that learning is nt smething that is cmpleted early in life, frm which pint we simply mve n, cnstantly recycling what we already knw. The hrizn is brader than that, and the brader the hrizn, the mre pprtunities there are t learn smething new.
4. Why did the authr attend an adult evening curse?
A. He was frequently trubled by the repair wrk.
B. He needed t strengthen his theretical knwledge.
C. He was very eager t imprve his hands-n abilities.
D. He wanted t learn the secrets f wrking wnders.
5. What des the underlined phrase “jump ship” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Wrk hard.B. Drp ut.C. Calm dwn.D. Give in.
6. When the authr hit the switch, he felt ________.
A. nervus and uncertainB. frightened and excited
C. cnfident and relaxedD. annyed and depressed
7. What des the stry intend t tell us?
A. All rads lead t Rme.B. It’s never t late t learn.
C. Many hands make light wrk.D. The early bird catches the wrm.

Crsicana Middle Schl is nw ffering a new elective (选修科目), Outdr Educatin, which cvers several areas f learning. The curse includes hunter and angler educatin, camping, survival skills and archery. The students recently gt a visit frm Captain Heath Butaud frm the Crsicana Fire Department and learned mre abut putting ut and preventing fires alng with hw t use a fire extinguisher. They then were allwed t put their knwledge t the test with a simulated (模拟的) fire n a screen and an extinguisher. These types f activities amng the thers mentined all teach prblem-slving skills t students which they can use fr life-lng learning.
The curse began as an idea that CMS Principal Jhnsn came up with after spending time utside f wrk hunting. The class currently has 60 students and is a mix f thse wh have utdr experience and thse wh dn’t. “The curse is really abut the interactin,” Vice Principal Hervey said. “It desn’t matter wh is better r wrse; everyne is at the same level, ding the same tasks.”
While the class des d several exciting activities and field trips, the meaning behind the curse runs much deeper. “The idea is t get the kids utdrs,” Owen said. “The byprduct (副产品) f that has turned int wrking tgether, building new relatinships and the feeling f fulfillment the curse brings.” The learning and cmpletin f new tasks such as cking chicken and vegetables n an pen flame, using a cmpass and mre have allwed fr the students t have mre discipline, self-esteem and perfrm better verall academically.
As the prgram begins t grw, the ideas behind the basis f the curse have stayed the same. “We want t have the ideal that there are n racial, physical, gender r sciecnmic bundaries,” Hervey said. “Students can therefre enjy an equal pprtunity t participate and becme engaged in extracurricular activities.”
8. What’s the purpse f ffering the students a new elective?
A. T acquire prblem-slving skills.B. T train them t be future firemen.
C. T apply knwledge t their exams.D. T btain mre methds f learning.
9. Which f the fllwing is an additinal benefit f the new elective?
A. Adapting quickly t technlgy.B. Experiencing exciting activities.
C. Imprving cperative abilities.D. Surviving sme sudden illnesses.
10. What can yu infer frm the last paragraph?
A. The prgram prves ideal.B. Scial inequality still exists.
C. Self-discipline means success.D. The prgram needs prmting.
11 Where is this text prbably taken frm?
A. An educatin magazine.B. A business analysis.
C. An ecnmic reprt.D. A science fictin.

Hw can a large city find water fr 10 millin peple if it is in the desert? Fg-catching nets n hills arund the city f Lima, the capital f Peru, culd slve the city’s water shrtages fr gd. A twenty-meter high net twer will sn be displayed in the city as a slutin t the prblem.
Peru’s capital city has just ne inch f rain a year. The city sees high annual temperatures and water cnsumptin rates. Lcated in a desert, the city’s temperatures are higher than wrld averages. Hwever, a unique feature f Lima’s weather ffers a way f meeting sme f this demand. Lcated n the cast, Lima’s surrunding hills are cnstantly bathed in waves f fg cming ff the Pacific Ocean, and the misture (湿气) taken in by plants ensures they stay green year-rund.
Inspired by fg nets placed by rural cmmunities acrss the cntinent, Albert Fernandez, a Chilean architect currently studying fr a Ph.D. frm University Cllege Lndn, has designed a series f twers and fg-catching nets. They can cllect as much as 1,000 liters f water per day, amunting t 3.6 millin liters per year, if enugh are put int use. Their twering structure allws them t get int the cluds, cllecting mre vital water vapr (蒸气), and their unique shape means that n matter the directin f the wind, the misture-rich fg will strike sme part f the structure directly.
The water will largely be used fr agriculture — as the water wuld require filtering (过滤) befre cnsumptin — helping free up resurces fr city residents. Cheaper than filtering water frm the Rimac River, these twers and nets, which Fernandez says culd be built up t 200 meters high, are part f a series f designs fr the Lima 2035 prject. It aims t change current desertificatin and create a new place fr sustainable and human-centered fd systems that prmte healthy diets and imprve incmes in the driest city n Earth.
12. What makes plants in Lima stay green year-rund?
A. The heavy rainfall.B. The high temperature.
C. The net twer.D. The unique lcatin.
13. What des Fernandez draw inspiratins frm?
A. The directin f the wind.B. The misture-rich fg.
C. The height f the twer.D. The fg-catching net.
14. What will Fernandez’s design mainly help t d?
A. Supply drinking water.B. Turn desert int rich sil.
C. Increase fd prductin.D. Develp healthy lifestyles.
15. Which f fllwing wuld be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Fg-catching twers help slve water shrtage
B. The driest city n Earth faces a serius prblem
C. Fernandez designed the first fg-catching net
D. Water plays a rle in a sustainable fd system
